Twitter rips Savannah Guthrie for 'appalling' interview with Nicholas Sandmann on 'Today' A user wrote of Savannah Guthrie's Nick Sandmann chat: "White women will always do the most to protect and humanize the white supremacist patriarchy."

Savannah Guthrie's "Today" show interview with Nicholas Sandmann, the Kentucky high school student featured in a controversial video, did not go over well with viewers.
They knocked her and the program for giving the teen a platform and conducting a "softball interview."
The Covington Catholic High School student showed his support for President Donald Trump wearing a "Make America Great Again" hat next to Native American elder Nathan Phillips in Washington D.C.
A viral 3-minute, 44-second clip showed the teenagers – several donning MAGA caps – surrounding Phillips. The clip drew widespread condemnation and prompted the school and the Diocese of Covington to issue an apology.

However, after the longer version of the incident surfaced, the rush to judge the teenagers, who were in the nation's capital for the anti-abortion March for Life, is coming under attack. The fuller video would seem to assign more blame for the encounter on a group of four or five Black Hebrew Israelites.
Twitter users were outraged as NBC's morning show tweeted clips of Guthrie's interview Wednesday.
"@SavannahGuthrie and @TODAYshow I have been a loyal viewer for the past 2 decades," shared a user. "I remember watching your coverage of the twin towers on that fateful day in September. But no more. Not after the sham that was this interview."

"Savanah (sic), I think this is your 'Jimmy Fallon ruffles Donald trumps's hair' moment," someone posted. "I can't ever feel the same about you, and don't want to support you or your show anymore."

"Probably should have let Craig taken this interview," one user suggested, referring to "Today" anchor Craig Melvin, a person of color.
Did Savanna needs to do better research before she interviews people. Like maybe watching the beginning of the incident. Probably should have let Craig taken this interview

Bringing up another person of color, a user wondered: "Why didn't @MorganRadford have the opportunity?"
I feel like @SavannahGuthrie was asked to do the interview as the least threatening anchor. Why didn't @MorganRadford have the opportunity? She recently did all the other race related interviews like Charlottesville, etc.? 🧐

Criticism for Guthrie began before the interview aired, in response to a promo for the segment shared Tuesday.
Filmmaker and "Teen Mom" executive producer Morgan J. Freeman tweeted directly to the anchor.
"Hey @SavannahGuthrie -- check out the book WHITE FRAGILITY by Robin DiAngelo," Freeman wrote. "You are complicit in white washing systemic racism represented by #MAGA caps, and the white boys of privilege who sport them. You're too concerned with how painful it is for Nick to be called a racist."

"White supremacy in journalism is hearing about the Indigenous Peoples March and choosing to interview the racist white kids rather than their target, Omaha elder Nathan Phillips," expressed another.

Guthrie was also knocked for asking Sandmann if he felt he should apologize.
"You guys just piling on the kid," a member of the Twitterverse said. "Did it ever occur to you that Mr Phillips is wrong for what he did? This kid didn't do anything wrong."

"Well, in typical Today Show form, Savannah completely ignored the angry stare and hateful words inflicted on this kid and instead asks him if HE should apologize," a Twitter user penned. "He's a kid. Where were the adults is the real question.God bless these kids."

"Savannah Guthrie asks the MAGA hat kid if he feels like he should apologize or if he feels if he did anything wrong? Instead of asking that kid that she should ask her colleagues in the media that question," a person complained. "They are the real bad actors in all this."

Some on the social media site came to Guthrie's defense.
"Thank you for this interview and bringing some balance to the story," a person complimented.

"AMAZING interview, Savannah," another remarked. "This is really good journalism. Unbiased facts. Showing all sides of the story. Reminds us all to talk out our differences instead of hating each other."

Other users praised Guthrie's even-handedness: "if democracy dies in darkness, so does truth. she asked questions. that's the job & she's great at it."
how about everyone back off Savannah Guthrie -- she's an outstanding journalist who spoke to *both* parties of a misinterpreted controversy & got dragged for both. if democracy dies in darkness, so does truth. she asked questions. that's the job & she's great at it. thank u, next https://t.co/aciB8O7H2g

And: "My very first editor told me that if there are two sides and you aren't pissing both of them off, you aren't doing your job."

For those wondering when Phillips would speak out, Guthrie told "Today" viewers, she predicted she would hear from him very soon.
"We've interviewed Mr. Phillips a few times, but we invited him again now in light of this conversation," she said. "I think we're going to hear from him tomorrow on 'Today.' "

Kathie Lee Gifford exits 'Today': The host through the years
"Today" show hosts Hoda Kotb, left, and Kathie Lee Gifford pose for a photo on the set in New York, Friday, April 5, 2019, on Gifford's last day as co-host. Gifford wrapped up 11 years with NBC's "Today" show Friday with laughs, tears, Scripture and _ of course _ wine. The 65-year-old host received a standing ovation from the audience after rapper Flo Rida opened the program by singing that the studio was "Kathie Lee's house." Nathan Congleton, NBC via AP

Gifford returned to the "Live" studio in 2011 for Philbin's farewell episode, where she was seated between future President Donald Trump and her husband, NFL player-turned-sportscaster Frank Gifford. Charles Sykes, AP
In addition to hosting, Gifford has penned numerous books, including 2009's "Just When I Thought I'd Dropped My Last Egg: Life and Other Calamities." Handout
She has also written books for children, like "The Three Gifts." Handout
Gifford has also released albums, like 1995's "Dreamship: Lullabies for Little Ones." Handout
Gifford has also acted in projects like "The First Wives Club," "Hot in Cleveland" and "Spinning Out of Control," which paired her with Howie Mandel. PETER STRANKS, XXX E! ENTERTAINMENT TELEVISION
In 1986, Gifford married former NFL star Frank Gifford, who by then had transitioned to calling "Monday Night Football." MALCOM CLARKE, Associated Press
The couple remained together until his death on Aug. 9, 2015, at age 84. The Gifford family donated the former NFL star's brain to researchers studying chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) and later confirmed that he suffered from the degenerative brain disease, which is linked to repeated blows to the head.

Q: Turning a .XML file to a data frame I have found a relevant data set about German politicians but I'm new to the format it comes in: XML with a belonging .DTD file. I'm used to working with data frames and I've tried different packages/libraries in R and python to convert it into a DF without any luck. Has anyone here worked with these formates before and can point me in the right direction? Thanks a million in advance!
The most promising solution I have found yet (in r) is:
# install.packages("xml2")
library(xml2)

x <- read_xml("MDB_STAMMDATEN.XML") # the xml file

xml_children(x)

It returns all of the variables divided into the correct sections, but I can't turn it into a working data frame...
Here is an extract from the data frame (below this is the data from the .DTD file):

A: Okay, I found the solution myself using R (I know the code could be a little more neat):
library(tidyverse)
library(xml2)

x <- as_list(read_xml("/Users/WIBE/Downloads/MdB-Stammdaten-data/MDB_STAMMDATEN.XML"))

xml_df = tibble::as_tibble(x) %>%
  unnest_longer(DOCUMENT)

table(xml_df$DOCUMENT_id)

ID_wider = xml_df %>%
  dplyr::filter(DOCUMENT_id == "ID") %>%
  unnest_wider(DOCUMENT)

BIOGRAFISCHE_ANGABEN_wider = xml_df %>%
  dplyr::filter(DOCUMENT_id == "BIOGRAFISCHE_ANGABEN") %>%
  unnest_wider(DOCUMENT)

NAMEN_wider = xml_df %>%
  dplyr::filter(DOCUMENT_id == "NAMEN") %>%
  unnest_wider(DOCUMENT)

WAHLPERIODEN_wider = xml_df %>%
  dplyr::filter(DOCUMENT_id == "WAHLPERIODEN") %>%
  unnest_wider(DOCUMENT)

ID_df = ID_wider %>%
  # 1st time unnest to release the 2-dimension list?
  unnest(cols = names(.)) %>%
  # 2nd time to nest the single list in each cell?
  unnest(cols = names(.)) %>%
  # convert data type
  readr::type_convert()

BIOGRAFISCHE_ANGABEN_df = BIOGRAFISCHE_ANGABEN_wider %>%
  # 1st time unnest to release the 2-dimension list?
  unnest(cols = names(.)) %>%
  # 2nd time to nest the single list in each cell?
  unnest(cols = names(.)) %>%
  # convert data type
  readr::type_convert()

NAMEN_df = NAMEN_wider %>%
  # 1st time unnest to release the 2-dimension list?
  unnest(cols = names(.)) %>%
  # 2nd time to nest the single list in each cell?
  unnest(cols = names(.)) %>%
  # convert data type
  readr::type_convert()

WAHLPERIODEN_df = WAHLPERIODEN_wider %>%
  # 1st time unnest to release the 2-dimension list?
  unnest(cols = names(.)) %>%
  # 2nd time to nest the single list in each cell?
  unnest(cols = names(.)) %>%
  # convert data type
  readr::type_convert()

combined_df <- cbind(ID_df, BIOGRAFISCHE_ANGABEN_df, NAMEN_df, WAHLPERIODEN_df)

A: Consider XSLT, the special-purpose language designed to transform XML files, in order to flatten your nested XML and migrate into the two-dimensions of an R data frame or Pandas DataFrame:
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
    <xsl:output method="xml" omit-xml-declaration="no" indent="yes"/>
    <xsl:strip-space elements="*"/>

    <xsl:template match="/*">
     <DATA>
       <xsl:apply-templates select="descendant::WAHLPERIODE"/>
     </DATA>
    </xsl:template>

    <xsl:template match="WAHLPERIODE">
     <ROW>
       <xsl:copy-of select="ancestor::MDB/ID"/>
       <xsl:copy-of select="ancestor::MDB/NAMEN/NAME/*"/>
       <xsl:copy-of select="ancestor::MDB/BIOGRAFISCHE_ANGABEN/*"/>
       <xsl:copy-of select="*[name()!='INSTITUTIONEN']"/>
       <xsl:copy-of select="INSTITUTIONEN/INSTITUTION/*"/>
    </ROW>
    </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

Wyoming Law
Wyoming Capital Punishment Laws
Just utter the phrase "the death penalty" and it has the ability to polarize our nation. Our states our split on the issue. Some states wholeheartedly enforce capital punishment, while others actively went about abolishing it. Indeed, capital punishment has a long and controversial history in the U.S., in which each state passes its own laws concerning the sentence. The majority of states, including Wyoming, allow capital punishment for the most serious crimes.
Wyoming uses lethal injection for its executions. But problems with the supply of lethal-injection drugs have spurred Wyoming lawmakers to consider a backup method of executing death-row inmates: the firing squad.
It's not as far fetched as you may think. In 2015, neighboring state Utah adopted firing squad as its backup method. Wyoming, the nation's least-populous state, has no one on death row and has executed only one person since 1976, according to the Death Penalty Information Center. The Wyoming House voted in 2015 to make a firing squad the new alternative method of execution, with the stipulation that inmates be rendered unconscious before they are shot. Some critics however, are questioning why the measure is even necessary since Wyoming's death row is empty.
The basics of capital punishment laws in Wyoming are highlighted in the table below. See FindLaw's Death Penalty section for more related articles.
Code Section 6-2-101, et seq.; 7-13-901, et seq.
Is Capital Punishment Allowed? Yes
Effect of Defendant's Incapacity Suspend sentence if mentally incapacitated or pregnant
Minimum Age 16
Available for Crimes Other than Homicide? None
Definition of Capital Homicide While under sentence, on parole/probation, after escaping detention or released on bail; previous conviction for murder in first degree or felony using violence; knowingly created great risk of death to 2 or more persons; while committing/attempting to commit aircraft piracy or unlawful discharge of bomb; while escaping or avoiding arrest; for pecuniary gain; was especially atrocious or cruel; court official in exercise of official duty; victim is less than 17 years or older than 65 years; victim especially vulnerable due to significant mental or physical disability; poses substantial and continuing threat or likely to commit acts again; while committing/attempting to commit robbery, sexual assault, arson, burglary, kidnapping
Method of Execution Lethal injection or lethal gas if injection ruled unconstitutional
Note: State laws are constantly changing -- contact a Wyoming criminal attorney or conduct your own legal research to verify the state law(s) you are researching.

iDoc revolutionizes healthcare for everyday consumers, allowing people to get an immediate diagnosis.
We initially took ideas from the existing FAQ chatbots on websites but we wish to further improve the functionalities of chatbots by being more accessible and user friendly through voice recognition technology and simpler user interface. We also implemented machine learning to achieve more accurate pairs between patient symptoms and conditions.
iDoc is an ios app that asks the user to talk or write about their medical symptoms. It uses machine learning to check what medical conditions the user most likely has, then gives advice on how to proceed. May it be immediately going to an ER or just resting well, iDoc gives a preliminary diagnosis for those who are unsure about whether or not to seek medical attention.
We used Tensorflow to train a neural network that takes a string input and compares the root words against an existing database of symptoms. It then returns the most probable condition based on the set of symptoms, as well as the corresponding advice. The training model was converted into CoreML to optimize on-device performance and ensure user privacy. It also ensures that our app is responsive even when the internet is unavailable.
Aside from a few bugs in the neural network, we also had difficulties converting the ML training model into CoreML. It was hard for us to find a correctly formatted database of user inputs with which to train our model. Our team had limited experiences in UI/UX, so it was difficult for us to come up with a user-friendly interface.
We've encountered a variety of bugs in the process of building this app. Conversion of our training model into CoreML and correctly formatting the database. Despite the hardships we faced, we were able to solve those bugs.
Other than learning and solving the hardships that we ran into, we also learned about the implementation of machine learning in python using Jupyter notebook interface and application of APIs including Microsoft Azure to add functions in our app. Furthermore, we also gained additional experiences with designing the user interface and animations on IOS devices.
In the short term, we will include an additional user input option using multiple choice style guided instructions to improve flexibility in the event that users are unable to describe their conditions. Beyond that, we wish to include a greater library of diseases and conditions in our database to further improve the usability of this app. We are also planning to include emotion capture technology to make our chatbots more sympathetic. Lastly, we plan on incorporating reinforcement learning to help the app learn and improve itself over time to give more accurate diagnosis.


Today on Karl and Crew Mornings, the team opens up a week talking about spiritual pinch points. A pinch point is a term used in traffic settings to describe an area of road that is commonly backed up. Like the term, bottlenecking, it halts the flow of movement. In the life of each believer, there are usually one or two big pinch points that stop you from moving forward in your relationship with Christ. The first step is to genuinely identify what these are in your life, so that you can lean on God to defeat them. What is the pinch point in your life?

Excuse the poor picture quality: I didn't bring my proper camera. But I encourage any London tourists and residents interested in Johnson or his dictionary to visit the museum: a fine and fascinating place, steeped in history and atmosphere, that gives a sense of what work and life were like for Johnson during his time here.
On my way out I met an American couple talking with the receptionist about the 'word of the day' feature behind the desk. They had just encountered petrichor elsewhere and were very taken by it. The word was fresh in my mind from a recent appearance at Macmillan Dictionary, so I shared its etymology. (I'd just had lunch with Macmillan colleagues Michael Rundell and Kati Sule, and Michael had suggested I visit Johnson's house, so the coincidences were beginning to pile up.) The Americans proposed petrichor as a word of the day, but house rules say it has to be a word in Johnson's Dictionary, and petrichor didn't arrive until two centuries later.
As I said on Twitter, Is he behind the tree?

Near where I used to live in London, there was a St Peter's Close. I always thought that a rather uncomfortable place to live.
To rejig the urban myth, you're never more than six feet from a saint.
I wondered why a bridge that is obviously a straight as nature and art could make it should be called serpentine. So I investigated Wikipedia and a map of Hyde Park, and it's the water to the east that's called the Serpentine. The water to the west is also often given that name, but properly it is the Long Water. The Serpentine proper is only serpentine in a very relative sense, having but one bend in it and that rather gentle.
Yes: the lake's shape, as shown in this detailed map, is serpent-like rather than strictly serpentine; presumably the bridge was named after it, though I couldn't find this detail on the Royal Parks website. Wikipedia has a decent page on it.
I went to the Johnson museum in Lichfield, back in the days when I was only moderately interested in language and dictionaries.
There is a St Peters Close retirement village in Adelaide: https://www.southerncrosscare.com.au/locations/st-peters-close-retirement-living. The lack of an apostrophe might be deliberate, though the suburb is officially St Peters.
I composed a song to the poem 'Love's coming' (viz, the coming of love). When I showed it to a student, she said 'Is it?' (viz, is love coming?).
I've got to pay more attention. St Peters Close is in Stepney. St Peters is the next suburb, so yes, St Peters is close.
Apostrophes in business names and official names (e.g., street signs) are quite often omitted even in places where strictly speaking they would seem mandatory. Though it infuriates pedants, it can be justified on practical grounds, as Waterstones did, and there's little likelihood of genuine ambiguity arising. Even mine (in the photo above) is contrived. I like the misreading of 'Love's coming' – my instinctive reading would have been the same as your student's.
In Australia, almost all towns, suburbs, streets and businesses don't have an apostrophe. A nearby suburb is St Marys, which is named after a church which is either St Mary Magdalene's Church, St Marys or St Marys Church. Nearby is St Clair, which as far as I know is not named after a church. A station in the city is St James, which is named after a church which is interchangeably St James and St James'.
Nice example! And essentially it's the same ambiguity as St Gerard's Close.

Transcription has been used in legal and other formal settings for many years. As speech-to-text technology evolves, the number of scenarios in which it can be helpful has increased, along with the scale of proceedings. Today, Appen is providing transcription services at conferences, meetings and events involving hundreds of participants and in almost as many languages.
Traditionally, the creation of an official written record was something that happened in courtrooms, at inquests, or at other formal or high-profile proceedings like public inquiries.
More recently, transcription has also become indispensable in smaller formal meetings and at the evidence gathering stage; for example, interviews with witnesses or suspects as part of a criminal investigation or for HR grievance and disciplinary meetings. But having an accurate, timely written record of what has been said is just as important at larger scale gatherings like conferences and other big meetings and corporate events.
When it comes to these larger gatherings there are, broadly speaking, two main reasons why having a high-quality transcript is important.
Firstly, an event could be part of a formal process that needs to be accurately documented in an expert and impartial way. This could include regulatory meetings as part of a monitoring or enforcement process, consultations with employees or trade union representatives, or shareholder meetings or company results announcements, where information is commercially sensitive.
Alternatively, a clear, timely transcript could be a way to capture and share valuable content with delegates or a wider audience – for example all the discussion, debate and ideas from a conference at which new data has been presented, or a public meeting to consult or share information with local people organised by a council or NHS trust.
Appen's recording, transcription, summary and note taking services are just as useful at large scale events as they are for smaller ones. And some are indispensable; for example language services at events with a global audience and delegates from a range of different countries.
This year, Appen provided transcription and language services at high-profile international events as part of an ongoing collaboration with an organisation working to promote better employment conditions globally.
It was hugely complex and challenging work, with delegates speaking many languages including Arabic, Chinese, German, Japanese, Portuguese and Russian, interpreted into either English, French or Spanish.
Morag van Niekerk, Appen's Quality and Innovation Manager explains:
"Some transcripts were needed within three or four hours and we often didn't know which languages were required until the audio was uploaded. Another challenge was that some sittings continued late into the night, but transcripts still had to be completed and uploaded before the next morning's sessions."
As well as being ready on time, transcripts for events like these must also be of the highest quality, as they are often shared internally with delegates but also with a much wider audience via an organisation's public website.
As the process of converting speech into text becomes ever more sophisticated, it's also becoming more and more useful. And whether an event involves three or four people or three or four hundred, it can always benefit from accurate, timely, cost-effective and secure transcription services.

Major companies in the plastics product market include Georgia-Pacific Corporation; International Paper Company; Kimberly Clark Corporation; Tetra Laval Group and Svenska Cellulosa Aktiebolaget.New York, Jan. 21, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Reportlinker.com announces the release of the report "Paper Products Global Market Report 2021: COVID 19 Impact and Recovery to 2030" - https://www.reportlinker.com/p06009746/?utm_source=GNW The global paper products market is expected to grow from $837.46 billion in 2020 to $885.66 billion in 2021 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.8%. The growth is mainly due to the companies rearranging their operations and recovering from the COVID-19 impact, which had earlier led to restrictive containment measures involving social distancing, remote working, and the closure of commercial activities that resulted in operational challenges. The market is expected to reach $1080.64 billion in 2025 at a CAGR of 5%.The plastics product market consists of sales of plastics products by entities (organizations, sole traders and partnerships) that produce plastics products. The companies in this industry produce packaging materials, film and sheet, foam products, plastic bottles and all other plastic products which have domestic and industrial applications. These companies use polymers and resins as raw materials which are primarily sourced from polymer suppliers and processes used in plastic products manufacturing include compression molding, extrusion molding, injection molding, blow molding and casting. The plastics product market is segmented into converted paper products; unfinished paper and pulp mills.Asia Pacific was the largest region in the global paper products market, accounting for 35% of the market in 2020. North America was the second largest region accounting for 26% of the global paper products market. Africa was the smallest region in the global paper products market.The paper industry has been shifting from labor intensive manufacturing processes to automated production facilities. Automation has enabled paper product companies to enhance productivity and reduce production costs. These technologies are also saving energy cost. Control systems such as integrated drive systems (IDS) are improving plant efficiency by minimizing energy consumption and simplifying service and maintenance processes. For instance, Swedish company Stora Enso partnered with Siemens to automate its Skoghall facility. Coronavirus Pandemic - The outbreak of Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has acted as a massive restraint on the paper products manufacturing market in 2020 as supply chains were disrupted due to trade restrictions and consumption declined due to lockdowns imposed by governments globally. COVID 19 is an infectious disease with flu-like symptoms including fever, cough, and difficulty in breathing. The virus was first identified in 2019 in Wuhan, Hubei province of the People's Republic of China and spread globally including Western Europe, North America and Asia. Steps by national governments to contain the transmission have resulted in halting of manufacturing activities and a decline in economic activity with countries entering a state of 'lock down' and the outbreak is expected to continue to have a negative impact on businesses throughout 2020 and into 2021. However, it is expected that the paper products manufacturing market will recover from the shock across the forecast period as it is a 'black swan' event and not related to ongoing or fundamental weaknesses in the market or the global economy. Faster Economic Growth - The paper products manufacturing market is expected to benefit from steady economic growth forecasted for many developed and developing countries. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) predicts that the global GDP growth will be 3.3% in 2020 and 3.4% in 2021. Recovering commodity prices, after a decline in the historic period is further expected to be a significant factor driving economic growth. The US economy is expected to register stable growth during the forecast period. Additionally, emerging markets are expected to continue to grow slightly faster than the developed markets in the forecast period. Greater economic growth is likely to drive public and private investments, joint ventures, foreign direct investments in the end-user markets, thereby driving the market during forecast period.Read the full report: https://www.reportlinker.com/p06009746/?utm_source=GNWAbout ReportlinkerReportLinker is an award-winning market research solution.

Charlie Rose sacked by CBS, PBS, Bloomberg due to sexual harassment allegations
by Larry Lease Nov 22, 2017
written by Larry Lease Nov 22, 2017
NEW YORK, November 22, 2017 – Amid allegations of sexual harassment, CBS, PBS have decided to cut ties with famed TV interviewer Charlie Rose, as the entertainment and media sexual harrassment scandals in these industries continue to mount.
Monday, the Washington Post published a story alleging sexual harassment by Rose, based on interviews the paper conducted with eight women who made the allegations. All eight had either worked for Rose or interviewed for jobs with the "Charlie Rose Show" between 1990 and 2011.
Tuesday afternoon, CBS announced it had fired Rose, who had cohosted the network's morning show "CBS This Morning" for five years. He was also a contributing correspondent for the long-running CBS tabloid news show, "60 Minutes."
CBS News President David Rhodes sent out a staff memo, pointing out that Rose's behavior was intolerable and disturbing, and further noting:
"Despite Charlie's important journalistic contribution to our news division, there is absolutely nothing more important, in this or any organization, than ensuring a safe, professional workplace — a supportive environment where people feel they can do their best work."
Following the Post story, three additional women came forward and told Business Insider of their experiences with Charlie Rose in 2005, 2008 and 2010. Two of Rose's female CBS cohosts expressed their shock and dismay during a broadcast following this breaking story.
"CBS This Morning" anchor Norah O'Donnell later released a statement declaring:
"There is no excuse for this alleged behavior. "It is systematic and pervasive, and I've been doing a lot of listening, and I'm going to continue to do that. This I know is true: Women cannot achieve equality in the workplace or in society until there is a reckoning and a taking of responsibility."
For his part, Rose apologized for inappropriate behavior, via a Monday tweet, claiming in a cautiously worded statement,
"I have behaved insensitively at times, and I accept responsibility for that, though I do not believe that all of these allegations are accurate. I always felt that I was pursuing shared feelings, even though I now realize I was mistaken."
CBS has not named a replacement for Rose.
PBS, which also announced they have terminated ties with Rose and canceling his long-running, in-depth interview program, "The Charlie Rose Show," which began on that network in 1991.
Charlie Rose is only the latest liberal media/entertainment personality to face allegations of sexual harassment in recent weeks. The current cascade of allegations was launched when accusations against Hollywood movie mogul Harvey Weinstein began to surface.

Q: Datetime saying my time format is wrong but it isn't My date time conversion was working and now I am getting this error when I haven't changed anything..
time data '2019-04-14_27-35-34-859' does not match format '%Y-%m-%d_%H-%M-%S-%f'

def get_milliseconds(time_stamp):
        utc_time = datetime.strptime(time_stamp,
                             '%Y-%m-%d_%H-%M-%S-%f')
        milliseconds = (utc_time - datetime(1970, 1, 1)) // timedelta(milliseconds=1)
        print("milliseconds = " + str(milliseconds))
        return milliseconds

A: Your value for %H is invalid - the hour can only be 00-23, not 24+ (which makes sense right, you don't have 27 hours in a day).
Unfortunately the error message isn't actually helpful, but if you exclude minutes/seconds/milliseconds from your string, a more helpful message arises:
>>> s = '2019-04-14_27'
>>> datetime.datetime.strptime(s, '%Y-%m-%d_%H')
Traceback (most recent call last):

CELINE DION REVEALS SHE'S BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH RARE NEUROLOGICAL DISORDER, STIFF PERSON SYNDROME
She is a national treasure and she is suffering.
Thursday morning, Celine Dion posted a video on her Instagram account saying she is dealing with a neurological condition called Stiff Person Syndrome.
"I'm working hard with my sports medicine therapist every day to build back my strength and my ability to perform again," Celine says in the Instagram video.
Because of her condition, Dion, who is now 54, has cancelled all of her shows for the summer of 2023 and postponed shows scheduled for the spring of 2023 to 2024 while she works to get better.
"But I have to admit it's been a struggle. All I know is singing. It's what I've done all of my life and it's what I love to do the most," she goes on to say.
Celine has been suffering back spasms for a while now and says they have been definitely linked to Stiff Person Syndrom.
SPS is a rare acquired neurological disorder characterized by progressive muscle stiffness and repeated episodes of painful muscle spasms.
The severity and progression of SPS varies from one person to another.
If left untreated, SPS can potentially progress to cause difficulty walking and significantly impact a person's ability to perform routine, daily tasks.

Glamping retreat with 'hobbit huts' near Lincoln approved
The scheme would also accommodate 32 touring caravans
Calvin Robinson, local democracy reporter
Plans to build glamping pods and 'hobbit homes' at a fishing retreat have been given the go-ahead.
The project at Rushfield Lakes, Potterhanworth includes space for 13 static caravans in the centre of the camp between fishing ponds, 12 glamping pods in a woodland area, and five hobbit huts, and a park for 32 touring caravans.
A decision on the application was initially deferred by councillors who sought further clarification on the sustainability of the plan, including the number of holiday units proposed.
Now, councillors have approved the proposals which will be located at the Rushfield Lakes campsite, north of Station Road in the village.
Members of the committee voted through the proposal by 16 votes to one.
The park will include 27 touring caravans on the western boundary, as well as space for 12 static caravans in the centre of the camp between the fishing ponds.
Eleven glamping pods will be placed in the woodland area and five 'hobbit hotels' will also be included.
An amenity and cafe block will also be located centrally, with all facilities spread around the existing lakes.

A total of 89 car parking spaces would be provided, with additional bays created for motorbikes, bicycles and disabled users.
Agent for the applicant, Michael Orridge, said that the proposals would help to "diversify business".
"The accommodation allows to create a year round business model," he said.

"It will also set it apart from other sites."
However, councillors raised concerns over the appearance of the site and its proximity to the village.
Councillor Ray Cucksey, ward member for Branston, said that residents have raised concerns over the plan.

"I have had a number of residents contact me about the plan," he said.
"It would be extremely difficult to hide the site from people leaving the village."
But chair of the committee, Councillor Pat Woodman, said that members had given permission to similar applications in the region.
"We do have to be careful with consistency," she said.
"We have given permission to other plans, such as in my area of Thurlby."
